I already know how to figure mpg, I cleaned my K&N and haven't refilled the tank yet, but I am going substantially farther on this tank. I'll see how much in a couple of days, but I was getting 10.7 in town, this whole tank is in town driving so I should get a good read. I'll let you know.

Like the exhaust though headers make it deep and aggresive. Mine with headers, dual in dual out, with sport style with cuda tips and a thrush muffler sounds like a low growl of a diesel with stacks. Step on it and its a part drag motor. Love em

Im in the process of talking my wife into letting me spend some money on a sct from Hemifever. Thanks for your concern tho

divide the number of miles you drove by the gallons of gas that were needed to fill the truck.

Yep, it's right there in the name: "Miles per gallon", i.e. Miles/gallons
